Hey Scott,
I've grown a ivory colored pepper called Arrivivi Gusano. It's a thin
crinkly pepper with an over-powering hab flavor. It's really a neat type.
It starts getting fruit on it fairly early and ripens fairly early for a
hab. I've been told that it's actually a C. bacatuum type, but it tastes
like a hab. And it's POTENT too. The plant is kind of compact, and the
leaves are small, like some of the Thai peppers' leaves. Probably my
favorite HOT pepper.
